16 Chart 12 Opinion on a Comprehensive Patients Bill of Rights A law, called the Patients Bill of Rights, has been proposed that would require HMOs, other managed care plans, and health insurance companies to provide people with more information about their health plan, make it easier for people to see medical specialists, allow appeals to independent reviewers when someone is denied coverage for a particular medical treatment, and give people the right to sue their health plans. Do you favor or oppose such a law? 100% 80% 78% 74% 80% 81% FAVOR 60% 40% 20% 0% 18% 12% 12% Sept April % Feb August 2001 OPPOSE Note: Don t know not shown Source: Kaiser Family Foundation / Harvard School of Public Health National Survey on Managed Care, November 1997; Kaiser Family Foundation / Harvard School of Public Health National Survey on Medicare, October 1998; Kaiser Family Foundation / Harvard School of Public Health Health News Index, March - April 2000; Kaiser Family Foundation/Harvard School of Public Health National Survey on Consumer Experiences With and Attitudes
17 Chart 13 If the Patients Bill of Rights were enacted, what effect- if any- do you think it would have on health insurance premiums for people like you? Do you think it would lead to health insurance premiums Don t know/ refused (Among the 60% who think premiums will go up) Do you think having a Patients Bill of Rights would be worth the increased cost of health insurance premiums, or NOT worth the increase?

18 Chart 14 If this Patients Bill of Rights were enacted, do you think people like you would be better off, worse off, or not affected much either way? Better off 46% 40% Not much affected Don t know/ refused 6% 8% Worse off
19 Chart 15 Criticisms Register Favor Oppose Don t know Do you favor or oppose Patients Bill of Rights? 81% 12% 7% Would you still favor if? you heard it would increase the cost of health insurance premiums usually shared by employers and workers by about 20 dollars per month for a typical family that is, a little over 200* dollars per year? Still favor 58% Oppose initially and switch to oppose 31% Don t know 11% it meant that some companies might stop offering health care plans to their workers because the employers are afraid they might be sued along with the health plan? 34% 53% 13% *Possible premium increases are based on estimates prepared by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) for Senate bill 872, cited in an April 23, 2001 letter from CBO Director Daniel L. Crippen to Senator Don Nickles, and an average family premium of $529 per month from the 2000 Kaiser/HRET Employer Health Benefits Survey.
20 Chart 16 If the Patients Bill of Rights were enacted Do you think it would make employers more likely to STOP offering health insurance for their workers, or not?

22 Chart 18 A Real Patients Bill of Rights, Or Not? If a proposal for a Patients Bill of Rights did not include the right to sue your health plan, would you still consider it a real Patients Bill of Rights, or not? Yes, would be real Patients Bill of Rights 43% 50% No, would not be real Patients Bill of Rights 7% Don t know/ refused
23 Chart 19 Right to Sue Specifics Suppose the Patients Bill of Rights is enacted and includes the right to sue a health plan. Which ONE of the following two statements comes CLOSER to your own view of what patients should be allowed to do? Patients should be allowed to sue for economic losses, get a LIMITED amount of money for pain and suffering, BUT NOT get additional money to punish health plans, because this would drive up the cost of people s health insurance premiums too much. 80% 16% Don t know/ refused 1% 3% Patients should be allowed to sue their health plans for unlimited amounts of money to compensate them for their economic losses and pain and suffering, AND get additional money as a way of punishing health plans and discouraging bad conduct in the future. Patients shouldn t have ANY rights to sue health plans (VOL.)
24 Chart 20 Awareness of Details of Patients Bill of Rights Debate As you may know, President Bush and most Democrats in Congress have endorsed different versions of a Patients Bill of Rights. Both versions include the right to sue your health plan. Do you think these two proposals? Don t know enough about this particular issue 80% 13% Take fundamentally different approaches to the right to sue 7% Are very similar in how they deal with the right to sue, with only minor differences in the details
25 Methodology The Kaiser Family Foundation/Harvard School of Public Health National Survey on Consumer Experiences With and Attitudes Toward Health Plans was designed and analyzed by researchers at the Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard School of Public Health. The Kaiser/Harvard survey research team was led by Dr. Mollyann Brodie, Vice President of the Kaiser Family Foundation and Professor Robert Blendon of the Harvard School of Public Health. Fieldwork was conducted by telephone by Princeton Survey Research Associates between July 2 and August 8, The survey included a nationally representative random sample of 1,205 adults age 18 and over. The margin of sampling error for the total sample is plus or minus 3 percentage points. For the 721 respondents ages 18 to 64 with private health insurance, the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4 percentage points. The margin of sampling error may be higher for some of the other sub-groups noted in the analysis. Because many people are unsure of - or don t know -- what kind of health insurance they have, respondents were asked a series of questions about their health plan to establish what type of coverage they actually have. They were asked if they were required to do any of the following by their plan: choose doctors from a list and pay more for doctors not on the list; select a primary care doctor or medical group; and/or obtain a referral before seeing a medical specialist or a doctor outside the plan. Respondents were listed as being in strict managed care if they reported their plans had all of these characteristics; listed as being in loose managed care if they had some but not all; and were listed as having traditional health insurance if they reported their plans had none of these characteristics.
